“Hear ye, the Master’s call, give me thy best” So how does your worship stack up? Does it reflect an enthusiastic delight in God? Is your singing, praising and praying, listening and attending to the preaching of the Word of God where it should be? What about your attendance and involvement in the church’s worship and ministries, does it measure up or is it substandard?
A story comes to mind I once read, where during a soloist’s number at church, a young grandson tugged on his grandmother’s sleeve and whispered, "She can’t sing very well, can she?" Knowing the woman had a deep love for the Lord, the grandmother said, "She sings from her heart. That’s what makes it good." He nodded thoughtfully. Several days later as he and his grandmother were singing along with the car radio, he stopped and said, "Granny, you sing from your heart, don’t you?"
Is your heart giving it’s best? God does not expect perfection from us. What He does expect is our best. “For, be it great or small, that is His test. Do then the best you can, not for reward, not for the praise of man, but for the Lord."
Colossians 3:23 (KJV) "And whatsoever you do, do it heartily (with enthusiasm), as to the Lord, and not unto men"
